The gangway resembles a board or plank laid between dock and boat for easy access. Design and dimensions can differ greatly. NauticExpo offers a broad selection of gangway: floating, telescopic, rotating, removable, etc.
The gangway links boat to dock for embarkation and disembarkation. The term "gangway" also designates a structural element linking one dock or pier to another.
Gangway configuration, design and constituent materials vary greatly. Generally it is of metal or wood in the form of a plank. Some fold using small electric motors.
Boat type and size will determine choice of gangway. A telescopic or folding gangway will occupy less deck space when stowed.
